IMPROVEMENT lN SYRINGE-BOXES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 77,344, dated May 16, 1876; application filed December 8, 1875.

To all whom it may concern Be it known thatI, MORRIS MATTSON, of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Syringe-Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled -iu the art to which it appertains to make and use it, reference being hadto theaccompanyingdrawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in syringe-boxes; and it consists in providing the box with a perforated diaphragm, which serves the double purpose of retaining the attachments to the syringe in position in the bottom of the box, and keeping the bulb and its tube entirely separate from the attachments, without increasing the size and depth of the box. This invention is intended as an improvement upon my former patent! The accompanying drawings represent my invention. V

it represents an ordinary rectangular box of any desired construction, in which thesyringe is to be kept when not in use. In the bottom of this box, along each end and side, is placeda narrow partition, 0, that divide the bottom of the box into one large compartment, 11, in the center, and four narrow ones, 0, around its sides, in which the various metallic tubes 9,

that are used in connection with the syringe,

arekept. The partitions 0 may be made of thin sheet metal, as here shown, or of any other suitable material. these partitions is placed the diaphragm-z, which has an oblong opening through its center, down through which is passed the lower half of the bulb h of the syringe, while the rubber tube 1 is coiled-around upon its top.

Although the partitions are here shown as extending around the sides of the central compartment, they may be arranged inany other convenient way.

What I claim is I 7 As a new article of'manufacture, a syringebox, a, having compartments 0, and a perforated diaphragm, z, the edges thereof forming a cover for the said compartments, and while the bulb'is permitted to pass down into the box, serves as a support and partition to separate the syringe from its attachments, and to allow the removal of the former without disturbing the latter, substantially as shown.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of November, 1875.

M. MATTSON.
